Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Trucks from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers, Construction Equipment Procurement Officers, Logistics Coordinators
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack (FR) Container Shipping—for the export of used trucks from Chinese ports to global destinations. The analysis focuses on operational efficiency, cost structure, cargo protection, and suitability for heavy-duty vehicle logistics. Special attention is given to corrosion mitigation via wax-based anti-seawater protection systems.
1. Overview of Export Logistics Channels
Used trucks exported from China typically originate from major industrial hubs such as Qingdao, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Tianjin. These vehicles are destined for emerging markets in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America, where demand for cost-effective heavy transport remains high.
| Method | Description | Typical Capacity (per vessel) | Average Transit Time (e.g., China → West Africa) |
|---|---|---|---|
| RO-RO | Vehicles driven on/off vessel via ramps; secured onboard decks | 300–500 trucks | 28–35 days |
| Bulk Cargo | Trucks disassembled or loosely stowed in hold; minimal structural support | 150–250 trucks (space-dependent) | 30–40 days |
| Flat Rack (FR) | Trucks loaded onto open-sided containers; secured for containerized shipping | 1–2 trucks per 40′ FR | 25–35 days (with scheduled container lines) |
2. Comparative Analysis
| Criteria | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Container Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading/Unloading | Fast (drive-on/drive-off) | Slow (crane-dependent) | Moderate (side/top loading with crane) |
| Vehicle Integrity | High (minimal handling) | Low (risk of impact during stowage) | High (secure lashing, ISO-compliant) |
| Cost (per truck) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,200 – $1,600 | $2,600 – $3,200 |
| Insurance Risk | Moderate | High | Low to Moderate |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | Standard bulk port sufficient | Requires container yard & crane |
| Flexibility | Limited to operational vehicles | Accepts non-operational units | Accepts non-operational with rigging |
| Security | High (sealed decks, GPS tracking) | Low (exposed stowage) | High (container seal, tracking) |
| Customs Clearance | Streamlined (consolidated vehicle log) | Complex (itemized manifests) | Standard container documentation |
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying System
Marine environments expose metal surfaces to salt-laden air and moisture, accelerating corrosion—particularly in coastal and tropical destination ports.
Recommended Protection Protocol:
- Pre-shipment Treatment: Full undercarriage and chassis wax spraying using synthetic, hydrophobic corrosion inhibitors.
- Product Type: Solvent-based or water-dispersible waxes with >98% salt spray resistance (ASTM B117 compliant).
- Application Method: High-pressure spray (150–200 bar) to penetrate crevices, weld joints, and frame cavities.
- Coverage: Minimum 20–25 µm dry film thickness.
- Durability: Effective for up to 12 months in marine conditions.
Note: Wax protection is mandatory for all transport methods but is especially critical in Bulk Cargo and Flat Rack shipments due to prolonged exposure during loading and sea transit.
4. Method Suitability by Use Case
| Application Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Export of operational dump trucks, tippers | RO-RO | Fast turnaround, low handling damage, cost-effective at scale |
| Non-running units, partial disassembly | Bulk Cargo | Lower cost; accommodates irregular sizes; requires strong corrosion protection |
| High-value or specialized trucks (e.g., crane carriers) | Flat Rack | Maximum security, compatibility with multimodal logistics, ISO container handling |
| Mixed fleet (operational + non-operational) | Flat Rack or RO-RO + FR hybrid | Flexibility in loading; optimized protection and tracking |
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-shipment Inspection: Conduct full diagnostic and fluid drainage check (fuel, coolant) to comply with IMDG and port safety regulations.
- Wax Application Schedule: Apply treatment within 72 hours pre-loading; verify coverage with adhesion and thickness testing.
- Lashing & Securing:
- RO-RO: Use ISO-approved wheel chocks and tension straps (min. 2,500 kg SWL).
- Flat Rack: Employ twist locks, lashing bridges, and corner castings per CSC standards.
- Documentation: Provide CMR, Bill of Lading, and corrosion treatment certificate for customs and insurance validation.
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction logistics planners, RO-RO remains the optimal solution for operational used trucks, balancing cost, speed, and safety. Flat Rack containers are superior for high-value or non-operational units requiring maximum protection and traceability. Bulk Cargo, while economical, presents elevated risks and should be reserved for budget-constrained projects with robust post-arrival refurbishment capacity.
Wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is non-negotiable across all methods and must be integrated into standard export protocols to ensure asset integrity upon arrival.
